I believe the new arcade board is still scheduled for 2012 release, however my new position on the console is that it won't see light of day until Q4 2013.

The reason I say this is because Sega has games planned for rival consoles through Q4 of this year. Games such as the recently announced Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing 2 and Yakuza 5.

Being realtime ray tracing capable, the new board shall no doubt be expensive, introducing the console variant one whole year after the arcade board shall reduce costs to a level were Sega can sell the hardware at a mass market price point.

Due to their domain change & transisition to a multimedia,multi industrial conglomorate SEGA Orbi, several projects originally planned for the first half of this year have been delayed to adjust publishing clauses. Normally these titles would meet their deadlines but the delays indicate major changes. In fact these titles will likely end up as digital content.

As for Sonic & Sega All Stars Racing 2, most sources point to Sega of Europe hiring developers for a 3DS version, no other platforms have been confirmed.
